Alexandre Laumain, MOF

The MOF collar, blue, white and red, is the most recognized mark of mastery in French craft. Fewer than ninety bakers have ever earned it. The world title, won at the Mondial du Pain in Tokyo, confirmed what his peers already knew.

His approach to bread is rooted in a deep understanding of nutrition and an obsessive attention to technique. He has spent years as an international trainer, taking that knowledge to bakers across Europe and Asia.

Now he is returning to Burgundy, to the village of Puligny-Montrachet, to open the bakery he has always imagined.

Nutrition is where every recipe begins.

For Alexandre, the nutritional value of bread is not a trend. It is the starting point: the choice of flour, the length of fermentation, the balance of the dough.

The result is bread that tastes better and does more for the people who eat it.

Nutrition is where every recipe begins.
I do work a lot on the nutritional part of bread. I want to have a place where you can rest and feel comfortable.
